SOOOOO, where will the Cummins land???
That's a good question.
This engine was initially designed for the medium duty cab-over and delivery truck market which it has had some success. I would even wager that Cummins has sold more ISV 5.0L in cab-overs/delivery trucks than they did in Titan XD's.
Was wondering what other applications it was built for. Poking around the internet didn't find anything outside of Cummins website and it mentioned pickups only...of which Nissan was the only customer.
Cummins may even have an uphill fight in the medium duty arena. I recall reading a fire apparatus manufacturer, was either Pierce or E ONE, is offering the Ford 6.7 L diesel in a custom pumper as an alternative to the Cummins engine options offered. Is the Ford engine less complex or less trouble prone from an emissions standpoint. Cost savings over a comparable displacement Cummins inline 6?
